Hamburg culture

Notwithstanding the spread over a large geographical area in which a homogeneous development is not to be expected, the definition of the Hamburgian as a technological complex of its own has not recently been questioned.

[2] The culture spread from northern France to southern Scandinavia in the north and to Poland in the east.

The latest findings (2005) have shown that these people travelled far north along the Norwegian coast dryshod during the summer, since the sea level was 50 metres (160 ft) lower than today.

In the layers there is a great deal of horn and bone, and it appears that the reindeer was an important prey.

At a few settlements, archaeologists have discovered circles of stones, interpreted as weights for a teepee covering.
